Optional Capabilities
Optional Telecommunication-Mask Application
Make telecom mask-template measurements to ANSI, CCITT, and ISDN
standards using the HP 54520 or 54540 series oscilloscopes equipped
with Option 001. Option 001 features 21 standard masks stored on a
flexible disk. You can automatically trigger on positive isolated
ones in live traffic for many standard telecom signals. The scope
will automatically best-fit the test signal to many masks and give
automatic pass-fail comparisons of the mask to its corresponding
input signal.
For more information on Option 001, Telecommunications Masks
Applications ask your HP Sales representative for HP Product Overview
5963-1859E (international version) or 5963-1859 EUS (US version).
Optional Active Probing
The HP 1144A active probe features 800-MHz bandwidth, 2-pF input
capacitance, and 1-Mohm input resistance. The HP 1145A two-channel
active probe features 750-MHz bandwidth, 2-pF input capacitace, and
1 Mohm input resistance and is designed for easy connection to
surface mount devices.
